Article Synopsis
  • An 11-year-old girl with a history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia presented to the emergency department with severe leg pain and numbness, leading to the discovery of multiple embolisms caused by a large cardiac tumor.
  • Diagnosis revealed a massive, mobile left ventricular tumor, confirmed via echocardiography, measuring 6.3 cm by 3 cm and resembling a myxoma.
  • Urgent surgery was performed to remove the tumor and restore blood flow, resulting in a successful recovery, emphasizing the rarity of cardiac tumors in children and the importance of swift clinical recognition in such cases.

Nanotechnology can offer a series of new "green" and eco-friendly methods for developing different types of nanoparticles, among which the development of nanomaterials using plant extracts (phytosynthesis) represents one of the most promising areas of research. This present study details the use of lavender flowers ( Mill., well-known for their use in homeopathic applications) for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with enhanced antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

When strands of DNA encapsulate silver clusters, supramolecular optical chromophores develop. However, how a particular structure endows a specific spectrum remains poorly understood. Here, we used neutron diffraction to map protonation in (AC)-Ag, a green-emitting fluorophore with a "Big Dipper" arrangement of silvers.
